Tripoli, Fall of

Years: 1289 - 1289

The Fall of Tripoli is the capture and destruction of the Crusader state, the County of Tripoli (in what is modern-day Lebanon), by the Muslim Mamluks.

The battle occurs in 1289 and is an important event in the Crusades, as it marks the capture of one of the few remaining major possessions of the Crusaders.

β€œThe lack of a sense of history is the damnation of the modern world.”

― Robert Penn Warren, quoted by Chris Maser (1999)
